I should add that 46.035(f)(3) also applies to 46.03, because 46.03 uses the definition supplied in 46.035.

Darwood wrote:Looking at PC 46.035 the definition of premises is given as such:

(3) "Premises" means a building or a portion of a
building. The term does not include any public or private driveway,
street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other
parking area.

You have to read it all, not just extract a sentence. Paragraph 3 is listed under subsection f, which says:
(f) In this section:

That means the definition in 46.035(f)(3) only applies to 46.035. The only "premises" that are off-limits per 46.035 are: 51% establishments; high school, professional, or collegiate sporting events; correctional facilities; hospitals; amusement parks; and places of worship. (Some of those restrictions now require 30.06 notices to be effective.)

The definition of premises in 46.035(f)(3) has nothing to do with whether or not 30.06 notices can be posted, nor where or how.

My confusion comes from the places prohibited section where the driveway was excluded, but I guess that is not the case with 30.06.

You're right; the definition of premises in "places prohibited" only applies in that section.

Bear in mind that a driveway or parking lot posted with 30.06 doesn't prohibit having a gun in the car, only having one on or about your person. Generally speaking, anywhere within the passenger compartment is "on or about your person". If you have to enter such an area, it's perfectly legal to stop and lock the gun in the trunk.
